So quickly the world around us evolves,
Problems come and go before they can be resolved,
Days passing by with the blink of an eye,
Almost as soon as you say hello, you’re stuck waving goodbye,
Life and time wait for no one, so go catch that train,
If you live in the past what do you ever gain?
I try to move forward, stay out of the past,
I keep my head high, don’t let my feet drag,
One day I woke up and I was this new me,
Suddenly this person I never dreamed I could be,
Accomplishing things I never dreamed I’d achieve,
Discovering parts of me I never could see,
Be bold, mighty forces will come to your aid,
In time memories of the past you will fade
#poetry
I can’t explain this connection I have to you
Something about you pulls me in
Like I’m some kind of addict.
I can’t shake these feelings I have for you
Although impractical
And bordering on self destructive,
I can’t let you go
And I’ll wait
Til the mountains crack
Til the rivers drain
Til the stars stop shooting,
Til the earth stops spinning
I’ll wait for you
#poetry
I think
That what I miss most
When the holidays are over
Is
The Mistletoe
Not that I have
Any fond memories in particular
having to do with it
It simply gives me
A valid excuse to
Be thinking about your lips
#poetry
Tear the [selected] pages
Of your life story
Out
Of the fancy
Binding that holds it
All together
Feed them to
The roaring fire
Currently consuming
All of your dirty little secrets
Watch them burn
Away
And pretend like they
Never existed.
Dust.
Breathe a sigh
Of relief.
#poetry
As I sleep
Writhing in imagined pain
Induced by my dreams
Panic stricken, sweating, and on the verge of tears
I want to one thing
To wake to the sight of your face,
Sculpted by angels.
I want to nestle in the crook of your arm,
For you to stroke my hair,
Hold me,
Tell me everything will be okay,
Protect me from the pain of the world,
Of my dreams,
Of my nightmares,
Your presence comforting me.
Preserve this moment with me
For as long as possible.
#poetry
You spit venom at me.
Eventually you try to take it back
But unfortunately,
The burns can’t be erased
With time, the physical ones will fade
But emotionally
Imagine where I stand
I have watched you
Heard you
Carelessly fling lies all over the place
Spit the contents of your relationship out into the open
Your dirty laundry
Sprawled out for everyone to see
You expect respect?
You expect peace?
You expect the freedom to come and go as you please?
I have given you
Chance after chance
And all you do
Is step on me
And take advantage of me.
Hurt me.
The only thing I have to heal the wounds
Are salty tears, that burn.
What burns even more than that,
Is that you are completely uneffected.
Heartless.
Cold.
A monstrous wave of destruction.
You have no clue what you’ve done,
Until you are sitting in the rubble
From the disaster that you created.
